Tateishi preparing for his Level 1 Bookkeeping examination was a big deal because it's challenging to clear. He worked hard and put in consistent effort, so there was no reason for him to fail. However, his history with anxiety and nervousness since high school and college makes him struggle to handle his nerves before exams or significant steps in his career. He was so nervous in high school that he couldn't even comprehend the questions in an exam, thus resulting in him not getting into the top-choice college.

As shown in I Have a Crush at Work episode 10, he did not want to repeat that. Luckily, Mitsuya messaged him and reminded him of the bet they had set. He'd have to sponsor a trip if he didn't clear the exam. Tateishi saw the price of the suite that Mitsuya booked. He was terrified because it would cost him 120,000 Yen. That fear ironically seemed to calm him down, and he proceeded to take the test. Based on his assessment after heading home, Tateishi will clear this test.
